2-WEEKEND CPD · MAY & JUNE 2027 · LONDON W6
The first time Andrew Nugent-Head has formally taught his approach to the pulse in the clinic. How what we feel shapes the strategy and intensity of treatment.
The pulse tells us the quality of a patient’s Qi and Blood — and, from that, how far we can go with treatment.
Much of what is taught about the pulse is a matter of recognising and naming qualities. Drawing on the clinical traditions passed to him by his teachers, in this seminar Andrew will show us how the pulse is read, what it reveals about the patient’s state, and how it should change the strength and direction of our needling in the treatment.
The two weekends
The seminar runs over two weekend modules, and places are for both modules.
Qualified acupuncturists or third year students on a BAAB accredited course.
Taught by Andrew Nugent-Head, Senior Visiting Teacher at Root & Branch College and founder of the Association for Traditional Studies (ATS).
Andrew lived in China for almost three decades, training with senior practitioners of Chinese medicine, among them Dr. Xie Peiqi. He and JulieAnn Nugent-Head run the Alternative Clinic in Asheville, USA, the teaching clinic of ATS. He has spent his career passing on the clinical skills he was given and is excited to be at Root & Branch.
Conny and Zarig Cooper will be assisting on the day.
